Recent Advances at KAIST in In-process NDE and Smart Hangar for Aerospace SHM

Abstract

Recently, we are in transition from metallic to composite in operation and manufacturing of aerospace structures. NDE, SHM, and PHM are all over used, in design, manufacturing, operation and overhaul stages in their life. In this invited talk, opto-electronic systems capable of in-process NDE, in-situ NDE and integrated SHM and their real world applications are introduced. In addition, their field implementation scenario are proposed and advances in Smart Hangar are introduced.
